Shattering Gauntlets

Bridges skill casts into a bleed engine: casting your Battle Skill supercharges fire rate and makes every bullet Smite until you reload, and each Smite piles on [Hemorrhage] buildup. Best with large magazines so the guaranteed-Smite window lasts.

Quick answer

PICK IT WHEN

Take it when your current route already produces the battle skill, smite, hemorrhage signals. The value comes from repeating that event, not from the item name or rarity alone.

WATCH OUT

If none of its triggers are happening yet, keep the slot open for a pick that strengthens the engine already on screen.
